CoDeS Philosophy

Relatively fast empirical relations, rapid assessment tools & simple models are not developed in a consistent, uniform & systematic manner, and are therefore often lacking:

• The integration of different disciplines
• Uniform  and clear visualizations
• Proper validation and robustness
• Full interactivity and flexibility potential

This is what we try to change with CoDeS!

CoDeS is

• A framework in which tools from different disciplines are implemented, with focus on:
  • Validation
  • Consistency
  • Discipline integration
  • Robustness
  • Interactivity
• A joint cooperation between Deltares, Witteveen+Bos and Royal HaskoningDHV.
• Developing an open community in which engineers can contribute to the framework

Why do we believe in CoDeS?

• It supports clients & stakeholders in early design phases of interventions in coastal systems
• Quick first order insights - in a range of disciplines - allows for realistic/optimal designs
• Allows for interactive communication of insights to clients and stakeholders (e.g. design sessions)

• Validation, consistency and robustness is crucial for gaining confidence in the result of basic tools

CoDeS TKI projects

The CoDeS tools are developed within the following TKI projects:
